I like it. As expected (at least by myself and TomThumb), Nella starting to shore up the scrum and take the sting out of them and then AAA to bring it home. I actually won’t be surprised if Alan plays the more minutes. We shouldn’t read too much into any selections I don’t think, some of the...

It’s clearly going to be close to this but there is a fair bit of ambiguity in Doran’s article with phrases like ‘up to’ and ‘could be’ so I would expect some divergence from this when the team is announced today.

I'm happy for you to sacrifice it as well.

That's exactly the point they were making.

I was listening to the KOKO podcast today - I haven't listened for ages - which was recorded earlier in the week and interestingly they were saying they expected Schmidt to select quite a few untested players for these first 3 games and then go full strength into the RC. The flipside to this of...

I think Frost started as well so does that infer that either Blyth or Williams are running on with LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)? Edit: McReight also started so Doran is mixed up somewhere.

One thing that might be getting overlooked by people on here is that aside from AAA probably being only penned in for 50 minutes max, he might not even be starting. Several cases have been made that either TT or Nonggorr could be better for that gig while Alan settles back into test rugby...

I can't find any reference to Lolesio or Lynagh in my version either. Maybe Panda was asked to rein it in a bit by the editor.

I was thinking the same thing.

Someone said that he and Gordon were, but the only ones I have seen confirmed in the media are Beale, Wilson & Smith.

Yes I since saw that. Looks all just like a big coincidence, although I’m scratching my head as to why a rugby player would take annual leave in the middle of rugby season.

I’m a bit confused by that as well, Ikitau is a 13 and so is Walton. It’s unlikely he’ll get a start and has probably just come in to fill the vacant squad spot. Schmidt probably defaulted to Foketi as a first port of call then went to Walton after giving it further consideration. Daugunu to...

Woollahra oval, yes. I think it’s that hybrid Astro/real turf whatever it’s called.

The article I read said that Beale was released to play because he wasn’t in line to play v Wales next week, Wright being preferred at #15. Based on that, the only thing that would make sense re Foketi is that someone has picked up an injury in camp, probably either Paisami or whoever is penned...

That’s kind of what I was getting at.

C9 reporting tis morning that Marky will be an the Olympic sevens team, and RA have also denied an early release request from the Roosters. I don't know if the latter was required to facilitate the former? Edit: it was apparently, but it means he can't play for the Roosters this year as they...

so unless people say AAA is currently the best THP in Australia it's crap?

Apologies, I thought you referring to my attitude towards it as a Tahs fan.
